Somebody Just Paid $200 for Bernie Madoff’s Underwear

Over the weekend, all of the personal items from disgraced swindler Bernie Madoff's Palm Beach, Florida mansion were auctioned off by a Miami auction house.

And we mean all of his personal items. In fact, an unnamed buyer paid $200 for a couple weeks worth of Bernie Madoff's unmentionables.

They were boxer shorts, 14 in all, which comes to about $14 a pop. Suggesting that the buyer may have just been seeking a bargain on what are surely garments made from the finest material.

Or perhaps the purchase was made out of sense of charity - all of the $400,000 netted at the auction will go toward compensating the victims of Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme.

Either way, gross.
